In your plug for Aquarium Co-op, you said they had everything I need for my fish keeping hobby. Does that include more room? I definitely could use some more room, and then some tanks to put in the more room. But yes, definitely more room if he can provide that.
Oh how I wish I had a tank big enough for those lepidogaster Hillstreams! I would breed the hell out of them and make sure you had a supply always! Thing is, I'm not sure they're lepidogaster. Those are supposed to be a solid brown. The problem with Hillstream loaches is that there are around 205 known species, and possibly some which have yet to be discovered. As if the sheer number of them wasn't enough, many of them don't have pictures yet, haven't been given scientific names or popular names, and are otherwise difficult to pin down. I would not mind devoting the rest of my life to hillstream loaches, collecting them, breeding them, naming them, and setting up a catalogue with photos of them all. Thing is, I don't have a lot of time left to live. I think it's a rip-off that longer than that. Say... 2000 years. That would help a little. I sonder if those are the same batch of kuhli loaches which mine came from? When they got here, they were tiny little threads. Now they are as big as those, but they pretty much hide during the daytime. At first, they hid in the cracks of the rock wall I created as part of the aquascape, but now they're too big to do that, so they pretend to hide in other places, but they're usually out, active, and scavenging early in the morning, or in the evening when the lights dim. They are a blast to watch, even if they don't want to be watched. I love it when they find some food. You can almost hear them shout "Hotdog!" as they get real excited and eat it down. The hillstream loaches are like that with algae wafers and Vibra Bites. The only difference is that the hillstream loaches flutter their pectoral fins like a baby bird does when momma comes to feed them. You can tell the foods they like best by how hard those little wings flutter. Looking forward to seeing some fish arrive tomorrow. Getting fish from you is always a treat because they are always in good health, fat and sassy, and they never fail to thrive! Thanks to you and to all of your staff for being so good at what you do, and for taking the time to do it right. If you see this, make sure to tell the folks who do all the fish wrangling that one of your customers said "Thank you" and that their hard work is appreciated!
Got my first order from Dan’s Fish last week (Nannacara anomala), and couldn’t be more impressed with the my experience! The fish were super healthy and settled right in!
Poecilia picta (POE-CHELIAH PICK-TAH)...from the Latin "painted poem"... I love this species! Wish we still had Latin being taught in middle and high school so that the pronunciation folks used was better...LOL...Loved finding this channel today...Thanks for sharing behind the scenes...
@@DansFish Dan, don't sweat it at all...LOL...!!!...I'm a Nerd. If it does matter at all, Google's free translator program going from "true Latin" and back to English pronunciations will teach you 90% of what you need to know to say names correctly in Latin. Simple as "plug and play." Westerns do a horrid time of it most of the time. When I was in school, I often found myself debating this with Zoologist and the like all the time as most academics do a bad job with pronociation as well. However, nowadays, if it matters (which I think it does...LOL) a computer or phone can resolve it fast...Love the channel!!!
Those lepidogaster are awesome! Another cool hillstream loach that I actually keep is hillstream SEW01. They have awesome spotting with a somewhat pinkish underbelly.
im with u on the killifish my fave too i have normanis lampeye, red striped, and golden pheasant/blue gularis i did have some amietis but didnt have enough tanks to breed those at time so no longer have those
is the tooth carp livebearer called something like phallichtys? not sure of spelling it actually means penis fish in greek though lol in uk there common name is dwarf merry widow
Sorry but I think giving those fish those extrem tails makes them super unhealthy. seeing them wiggle around like their body knows its dragging something around thats not supposed to be there.. looks awful. same with platy and with guppy. long fin varieties are just sad to look at. not pretty.
Hello Dan!!!! Thanks for the awesome video! And thanks for all you do for the hobby! You are THE MAN!!!!

Maybe a better description for those sterbai corydoras is amelanistic, rather than albino.
Dan i bought a super red bristlenose pleco from you and 2 Apistogramma Macmasteri and they are just amazing fish.
Love seeing all the loaches.

I wish I knew Latin...I butcher every scientific name I encounter.

Looking awesome Dan! Are you giys shipping to canada soon? :)
This. Is. Awesome. Thanks, Dan and the whole team!
I just want to say I love everything you do for the hobby and I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to show us beautiful fish.

Wow! Such a great video! ❤
i dont see the blue kribs on your website :(
Can you do a comparison video with Santa Maria endlers and the red swamp guppies? Which is smaller in size and brighter red coloration?
The Swamp Guppies are slightly larger and the Santa Marias have brighter color.
Do you ship to Canada 🇨🇦? 😁
is the tooth carp livebearer called something like phallichtys? not sure of spelling it actually means penis fish in greek though lol in uk there common name is dwarf merry widow
They're in the Xenophallus genus, which is bit weirder than Phallichthys.
Hi Dan I didn't see the Metal Blue Lace Guppy on your web site how much are they?
dansfish.com/product.detail/6634/Metal-Blue-Lace-Guppy-Pair-(1M1F)-(Poecilia-reticulata)
Awesome
love these types of videos!
😉😊
1:46 I've had good success with Fundulopanchax gardneri. I want try an annual killifish at some point.
So for guppies when I get 1 Am I actually getting 1 fish or the 1male 2 female that you advertise?
You get what they're listed as. If it's a pair, you'll get a male and female. If it's just a male, you'll get a single male.
@DansFish thank you so much for the reply
Great video.
DO you ever have forktail rainbows??
Do you ever have Doro??
Could you get a little closer when filming the smaller fish maybe ?
I can't wait to be able to place my 1st order with you. I appreciate the extra time and effort you put into your work.
Are you guys going to be keeping some red swamp guppies to breed?
howdy dan! excited to see these beauties!
Thanks for the video Dan!
Absolutely gorgeous fish
Awesome Awesome Stuff!
Wow I love these videos
Sorry but I think giving those fish those extrem tails makes them super unhealthy. seeing them wiggle around like their body knows its dragging something around thats not supposed to be there.. looks awful. same with platy and with guppy. long fin varieties are just sad to look at. not pretty.
I can't find the black morpho tetra?
They sold very fast. We should have another batch ready to go next week.

During the summer when weather permits.
awesome! @@DansFish
